-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- She 's been called `` America 's mom . '' Strangers stop her for hugs in the airport . And she still dishes up kindly parental wisdom daily in reruns of `` The Brady Bunch . ''

`` Brady Bunch '' actress Florence Henderson founded a service to help older adults learn about computers .

Now , actress Florence Henderson , otherwise known as Mrs. Brady , has a new mission : Helping older adults learn to use technology .

Her new business , Floh Club , is a `` telephone-based technical support service '' focusing on people who did n't grow up with computers -- especially grandparents who want to stay in touch with family but are intimidated by webcams , Facebook , instant messaging or even e-mail .

Henderson says Floh Club is `` like roadside assistance for your computer . ''

She spoke with CNN 's Josh Levs about her inspiration , her grandkids and `` Brady Bunch '' rumors as the show celebrates its 40th anniversary . See more of our chat with Florence Henderson ''

CNN : What made you think of this ?

Florence Henderson : I was terrified of computers , Josh . I did n't grow up with them . And I have four kids , and they were always saying , `` Oh , Mom , please get connected . '' And I would go , `` No , I do n't have time . '' But I was really scared .

And so , a few months ago I decided that if I felt that way , there must be a lot of older adults that feel the same way , or maybe even some younger ones . I am now sending e-mails , I 'm videoconferencing . I 'm taking photos off my camera and actually putting them on the computer . Facebook , it is so exciting . I mean , I 'm thrilled .

CNN : What kinds of calls are you getting ? What have people been calling and saying they need help with ?

Henderson : Things like as simple as learning how to send an e-mail . We have all North American-based technical experts standing by . Eighteen hours a day . Seven days a week . They are all very patient and very caring , and they will access your computer remotely , and they will talk you through any problem you may be having . They 'll teach you how to use your computer .

CNN : The plans and services range from $ 25 to up to $ 250 for an entire year . You have grandkids . Do you stay in touch with them this way ?

Henderson : You know what , Josh ? That 's one of the most exciting things for me is to be able to videoconference because I have a son and his wife and two children that live in St. Louis . I have a daughter in Florida . And they have two children . And now I can actually see them . I have a new granddaughter who is just a year old . I can watch her grow , and I can talk to them . To me , that is the most exciting thing . And so I 'm encouraging older adults to really stay connected and use your brain .

CNN : It 's the 40th anniversary of the Brady Bunch . We see sitcom stars come and go . But you , 35 years after the show technically ended , you have stayed out there as an icon . What 's your secret ? What did you do that no one else figured out ?

Henderson : You know what , Josh ? I think it 's because I love what I do . I 'm passionate about what I do . I 've always kind of felt that my career was my vocation , and I love staying on top of things . Now I 'm cybermom ! I genuinely love to communicate . And I love people .

CNN : I got to tell you , when I said I was going to talk to you today , every person I talked to said I have to get the truth about you and Greg -LRB- Barry Williams -RRB- . You write about this on your blog . Just give everyone the real story .

Henderson : The real story is that he always had a crush on me and he asked me to go on a date with him . And so I went . And he only had a driver 's permit . And his brother had to bring him to my hotel , and then he could drive my car , you know , he had a permit . But it was so sweet and so innocent . And he 's still a very dear friend .
